Thank you.

Nice work, jobless (Nemanja)! Your clip is far more ambitious than what I've attempted so far.
I added a tiny bit of a GH13 green screen shoot I did to my demo. It starts at the 21-sec. point:
I'm using FCP. I may try adding a slight amount of blur to the edges of the chair to see if that helps the illusion. Cheers.

I swear...that chair looks like the one Morpheus was sitting on in "The Matrix."

Again, I really like what you did, but I thought of a question and a comment:
- Question: In your "breakdown" video, which (if any) of the layers added smoke/haze to the scene? Was it part of the SFX lights you added? Or is the lowered contrast part of a lens flare effect?
- Comment: Light direction: Since your scene takes place in a nightclub or concert, it makes sense that there might be lights coming from several random directions. But I wonder, since you have the really bright SFX lights glaring into the viewer's eyes (which I like), maybe it would make more sense if the actors had been shot with a strong back-light & weak fill instead of the bright key coming from camera left (except for the last actor, where the light is coming from camera right)?
I may try adding a little smoke/haze to my composite since the actor is holding a pipe, especially if I can also add some subtle light beams coming through the smoke from the windows on camera right. The windows are the supposedly key light for this scene. Fun stuff!

Thx for nice words...
As for haze layers. There are 3 smoke/haze layers that I didn't include in 'BREAKDOWN' and they are independent from lights. Low contrast is combination of 7 lights and smoke layers in the scene so I needed CC layer to correct that.
As for light direction... Footage was shot without concept ( I was fooling around all night with my friends in studio after shooting some project) and I didn't have idea what video I want to do... So, I improvised in AE. Basically, idea was to put some light over the bar ( left from the camera). It seemed to me like believable scenario for concert ( maybe I'm wrong
). And another thing, as it should be commercial, lighting the subjects ( especially the beer in the end), seemed to be good idea..Your video looks very natural, I'm not sure for smoke layer... If you decide to do it with smoke it should be very very subtle...
I was thinking of dust particles behind the talent in combination with light rays to achieve oldish look?
Nice compositing do !

Thanks for the follow-up info & compliment. If I do add any smoke/haze to my composite I'll keep it very, very minimal.
Your explanation of how your shoot came about makes perfect sense. Sometimes you can't predict the future. ;-)
I look forward to seeing what you do on a green-screen shoot where all the pieces are planned-for in advance. Hopefully someone will pay you a lot of money to do this soon!
Cheers.
